I was just pointing out that some environments allow the programmer to define initial values for global variables in RAM, not sure if NESASM had it too.

i'm sure it does. not sure if i have any of the compiler docs though.

No, a byte is 8 bits!

so 20 is really 16 in hex?

20 decimal is $14 in hex. But this is not important in this case, since that number goes nowhere, it's not used for anything.

i don't see anything in the code saying wether or not this 20 is hex. are all numbers hex by default?

Usually, numbers without any prefix character are decimal. A "$" before the number indicates it's hexadecimal, and a "%" indicates it's binary, in most assemblers.

lol i knew that! i was just testing you!!!!!
man i truly am rusty. 20 in hex would be more like 32 or something.
thanks
